Woo-Woo

Phallic (male) symbols are everywhere. Towers, poles, swords, etc. I've heard complaints from women that there simply aren't enough female symbols. Well, it is admittedly more difficult to create something in the shape of a vagina, but I was sure there were those symbols around. Over the years I've found a few (that didn't vibrate or inflate) and tonight I found another. The big alien ship in The Abyss is covered with vaginal symbols. This photo shows one of the structures and similar shapes cover the surface of the ship. The vaginal reference was even more obvious when our main character glides into the long, curvacious tunnel (also covered with these shapes) to meet the aliens. The reference seemed blatant once I noticed and made me wonder what the designer was trying to communicate. Mother earth? Nurturing? Compassion? Gentleness?
